POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Place
Wielding a consciousness capable of knowing its self
we often forget we are part of the natural order
It is in moments of remembrance of this fact
I hope to become not commonplace
but ever present in our lives
It is our duty to birth each other reflectively into this improbable miracle
to blossom along with the sentimental forms of nature
and to die when we have learned the implications of wilting
We are as rooted in this world as the most ancient sequoia
as profound as the vastness of eternity
and as beautiful as the most lonely desert bloom...

All
Your
Fair
Weather friends are dead
The fools died flying south
At least the winter is free
From such summer weeds
Bud
Blossom

And then depart
But I end at the start
Don't let me worry you
I will be born anew

The
Dust or as the gas
Surrounding Saturn's mass
I could become a force
Without thoughts or remorse

A bigger cage
The bug of what we know withers
in the field of what we could
as
the serpent of inception slithers
tucked
behind a shield of-
-would-
-you dare provoke an idle thought
repression the scheme seemed honed and taught
A thought that never settles
a mind that only could
compromise cries tar and feather
truth becomes a question of-
-would-
-you dare provoke the papacy
he's wearing the hat as god incarnate
How can men be fruitful
when their acts are futile
and all we ask is a bigger cage
in the field of what we could
as
the serpent of inception slithers
tucked
behind a shield of-
-would-
-you dare provoke an idle thought
repression the scheme seemed honed and taught
A thought that never settles
a mind that only could
compromise cries tar and feather
truth becomes a question of-
-would-
-you dare provoke the papacy
he's wearing the hat as god incarnate
How can men be fruitful
when their acts are futile
and all we ask is a bigger cage

Can you force discretion
The hammocks seams corrode
As
The open arms of mass correction
Embrace
Your safety net exposed
A perception characterized delusive
Spectacle damnation wax again
Policies implemented intrusive
A thought once sane now makes you unmend
Thoughtless use of a messiah puppet
disengage our gaze means of a ghastly end
A faux freedom visage to stuff it
The depression in your head is their track to defend
Now in their prison as a lab rat
you'll be poked, prodded, punctured forced unhumble
Become...

Yin & Yang
Good acts as evil because
Downwards is hiding as up
Peace entices war as does
War save peace complacency
Yin and Yang nip at the heels
Trading their colors and deals
Truth is a holding cell away
Rapture trusts damning to this day
Downwards is hiding as up
Peace entices war as does
War save peace complacency
Yin and Yang nip at the heels
Trading their colors and deals
Truth is a holding cell away
Rapture trusts damning to this day

got me wrong
When uncommon sense dictates
A rational man screams for escape
He's labeled sick yet the truth protrudes
The populous is taught a new way to elude

Ambient Death
The fear you attempt to emote to me only builds my lividity
The distress you screech is but another note in natures morbidity
There's beauty in barbarity, your passing will surely glow
though you may instigate, motive you can never know
the moon creates subtle ambiance and tragic undertones
you saturate in a pool of blood it seeps between your toes
the only truth left to not comfort me is a mind you will never know
Fate is simple at its seam
I unfold its lurid scheme
The distress you screech is but another note in natures morbidity
There's beauty in barbarity, your passing will surely glow
though you may instigate, motive you can never know
the moon creates subtle ambiance and tragic undertones
you saturate in a pool of blood it seeps between your toes
the only truth left to not comfort me is a mind you will never know
Fate is simple at its seam
I unfold its lurid scheme
